He said PGA. LPGA is NOT the PGA.

This is why gold is harder as a sport...
no woman plays on PGA ever on a weekly basis --EVER.

 

[slapshot]

Golfers can't even drive a cart

Nascar drivers can golf and drive

i was going to say draw until the women on PGA comment.

Golf wins it for me hands down.

FWIW, the women that i've seen in racing don't look superior athletes like the williams sisters

 

[SECplayer]

Golfers by a landslide in my opinion.

Doesn't being an "athlete", no matter how good or bad, involve some type of running, walking, or bodily movement?

I even follow NASCAR but not sure how in the heck they can even be in the conversation of "athletes"...

 

[wabashwonders]

Definition of athlete... A person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility or stamina.

Based on that definition I would say a golfer is more of an athlete than a NASCAR driver.

the stamina part makes me lean nascar.

Easy answer

golfers



no way a woman competes on the PGA ever on a weekly basis...

naSCAR easy peazy

Keyword here being "competes". She may be out there, but she hardly competing with jam up equipment (wins pole) when the men hit the track with her...

The real athletes in all of this are probably the pit crews and the caddies. Try carrying a 50+ pound bag up and down hills on a 100 degree day for 4 days straight. And it takes years to be able to even qualify to be a pit crewman for NASCAR or INDY cars.

True story.

It's easy to consider them an athlete, try driving a car for 500-600 miles non-stop in 100 degree plus temperatures. Yeah they may just be turning left all the time.

But with the high temperatures inside the race car for 500-600 these guys will lose 5-10 LBS. body fat from start to finish of the race.

Name any sport where the athlete loses 5-10 LBS. body fat during their competition? ? ?

It's easy to consider them an athlete, try driving a car for 500-600 miles non-stop in 100 degree plus temperatures, this would be the same as if you were to drive your personal car/truck in the summer time with the heater on full blast with the windows up . Yeah they may just be turning left all the time.

But with the high temperatures inside the race car for 500-600 miles these guys will lose 5-10 LBS. body fat from start to finish of the race. A person would have to be in good physical condition to do this. Most of the Race organizations have their own strength and conditioning coaches and they workout weekly to stay in shape.

Catcher in baseball during a hot day

Then Annie Duke is quite the Athlete- give me a break.

PGA in a landslide.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Try walking these courses that the pros play....90% of golfers have a fitness program they follow with trainers and gyms at their disposal on the tour...

A golfer sometimes plays 4 rounds of golf in high humidity, high temperature conditions while walking between 5 and 7 miles each day. You have to be in very good condition to be able to do that and still maintain a high level of play.
